Learn how to talk to customers, very disrespectful and rude people there. Your food is not that great plus your customer service is 0/10. You have no clue how the restaurant business works.

I have only had the vegetarian dishes, but everything has been fantastic! The spicy Shiro is amazing and I love getting the variety of the mixed vegetarian options. Been here twice.

And they Hung up on you when you call them/I don't know who buys the food from them....and I would suggest them to just Close the place! So Horrible! The food is not good...and there is no one at the Desk if you go there and try to order food you will be Standing House and you could see people in the bag and they see you too but no one cares they just kept going around in the bag side or in the Kitchen or whatever it's......I ordered online Regular Ribs and it went through and charged my Card $15 bucks... When I went there to pick up the food...what a Horrible ????? a guy came over in the Front desk and I told him that I am picking up an order I put it through online and he kept talking to me some other Language/ Non English and I was like what??????? Finally he spoke to me English then told me he did not get that order and online orders does not work.....but my F.....Money was missing$15 and he kept saying it's not his fault and 0000 Apologies!!!

I did an online order fromThe restaurant. When I went to pick it up the restaurant was closed. When I tried calling no one answered but THEY TOOK MY MONEY. JUST TERRIBLE. I had to go through my bank to get a refund.

The restaurant looks abandoned. I came at 7:40pm and no tables or anything in the building. People outside said they aren’t opened sooo……

I ordered the Lega Tibs and another order of Pasta with tomato sauce. The meat from the Lega Tibs were cut very large and hard to eat with one bite. It also didn’t have the authentic Ethiopia Tibs flavor - it was just ok.The Pasta - from the picture, I was hoping would be the REAL tomato sauce that is made from scratch (like how they made it back home). Unfortunately, that was not the case. First, there is too much sauce and makes it difficult to eat. Second, the sauce had too much Berbere (hot spice of Ethiopia) and made it difficult to eat. It might be a good idea to mention the level of spice and allow the customer to choose how spicy they would like it to be. Overall, the order was average, hence why I gave it 3 Stars.

Their food’s pretty good, at least when they get the order right. I asked for some red and yellow lentils, and they gave me this mushy orange sauce. My mom usually eats whatever I don’t like, and even she thought it was bad. It even takes long to order, because when we talk to them it’s like they barely speak English. One time, they took an hour to give me my food. That was because they forgot about it. And when she gave us the food, she just laughed it off. It wasn’t even funny! And last, but definitely not least, whenever we call them we hear the sound of banging metal or a screeching sound. Overall, terrible. Never went there again.

Ordered through UberEats the other night when we had a crowd, and the first restaurant I tried to order from errored out with a "find another restaurant" message. It was a Saturday night around 6 and was about 90 minutes before the food arrived (they are only about an 8 minute drive), so they presumably get pretty busy. The food was pretty good, the doro wat was a little greasier than I prefer, the shiro was nice and creamy, and the folks who ordered veggie combos loved them (I was gifted someone's beets and they were good). The portions were huge and the prices were much lower than other restaurants, esp. through UberEats. I wouldn't say it's the absolute best in town but my friend of African descent who knows the cuisine better than I said hers was very good. I would definitely order again for a crowd, but would try to get the order in earlier before the evening rush, because I was pretty hungry by the time it all arrived. I might try the tibs next time.

The worst Ethiopian food I've ever had. They should just stick to selling wine in the restaurant. Just turn it to a Wine and Spirits shop.They should absolutely stop selling food, or get another cook. Terrible ?

The sambusa's are beyond delicious!

I ordered through UberEats the veggie combo, the miser, and the ambo water. The veggie combo platter was a huge portion but the entire dish tasted like fish and it was nauseating. The miser was a big portion but again the entire dish tasted like fish, so I threw it away. The bottled water was fresh and tasted good, but I wouldn't order food from this place again.
